The mission of the legislative and public policy committee is to actively pursue the laws and regulations that have an impact on the clinical mental health profession. Our goal is to ensure that CMHC's are equally recognized as mental health professionals and change public policy, as needed, in order to provide equal rights and opportunities for CMHC's in Utah while also working to ensure their protection as a professional. Our efforts are focused on creating professional relationships with public policy makers and establish ourselves as community leaders and advocates for both professionals and those that we serve in the community.To become a member of this committee you need not be a member of the UMHCA board. Once you become a member of the Legislative & Public Policy Committee, you will be able to participate in the activities of this committee.
